As Jessica heard this, it felt as if thunder exploded in her brain, continuously striking her nerves.
In that moment, she even wished for death.
Catherine had a good appearance, standing over 1. 7 meters tall. When she married into the family, Jessica thought her luck had finally turned around.
She treated Catherine like her own daughter, fulfilling her every request, afraid of seeing Catherine suffer.
Their honeymoon period didn’t even last ten days when Catherine asked for that jade pendant.
Jessica didn’t agree.
Because she wanted to return the jade pendant to Flynn so he could use the money from selling it to get married.
Since then, Catherine revealed her true colors.
Lazy, never coming home at night, verbally and physically abusing Jessica. Even the kind-hearted Reed had been slapped.
Mother and son thought that once they had a child, Catherine’s heart would settle down.
One time, Catherine bought a lot of medicine, claiming she needed to regulate her body to prepare for having a child. Jessica was ecstatic for a long time because of this.
She made chicken soup, fish soup, and pork rib soup for her, taking care of her in various ways.
Half a year later, Catherine’s belly showed no signs of change. Jessica went to ask Reed, but Reed said Catherine didn’t let him touch her at all!
Now looking back, the idea of regulating her body for a child was a lie, and having a child with another man was the truth!
This marriage was nothing but a complete scam!
Catherine had an abortion for another man, and Jessica took care of her for a whole month!
Foolish!
She was truly foolish!
Flynn’s face turned extremely gloomy, and he walked over with big strides.
“Flynn, what are you going to do? Don’t move, I’ll handle this!” Matteo held Flynn back, his face serious.
“Catherine, no matter what you say, their family has done nothing wrong to you. You can get a divorce if you want, but the dowry won’t be returned.”
“But that 30 million doesn’t belong to you, it must be returned!”
Matteo stood in front of Catherine, suppressing his anger as he spoke.
Catherine was an unfeeling stone, a shameless beast, so there was no point in bringing up past matters.
End this farce as soon as possible, it would be good for everyone.
“It doesn’t belong to me?” Catherine glanced at Matteo and sneered, “Reed and I haven’t divorced yet, this is marital property, why doesn’t it belong to me?”
“I wasted over a year on him, so this 30 million is compensation, isn’t that reasonable?”
Matteo slightly frowned and coldly said, “This check is mine. Jessica is temporarily holding it for me, it doesn’t belong to you.”
“Cut the crap!” Catherine disdainfully dismissed his argument and sneered, “You have pockets, don’t you? Do you need that despicable woman to hold it for you? Do you think I’m a fool? Trying to fool me with such childish words?”
“This check belongs to their family, and I have a share!”
Matteo shook his head, “The mother-in-law’s property doesn’t belong to the marital assets, it can’t be divided.”
“Even if the check belongs to your mother-in-law, you have no right to take it.”
“What if I insist?” Corey approached, a fierce expression on his face.
More than ten men with clubs surrounded them.
Matteo was startled, his momentum diminished by half, feeling a bit at a loss.
Catherine’s face also darkened, and she loudly cursed, “Are you deaf? Didn’t I just say it? This 30 million is compensation for my youth!”
“I’m so beautiful, I lived in a pigsty for over a year. Shouldn’t I ask for some money?”
Matteo stubbornly retorted, “There’s no such thing as compensation for youth in a marriage. I advise you all to stop causing trouble and return the check quickly, otherwise…”
“Otherwise what? Call the police? Never mind whether you calling the police would be useful or not, even if it is, do you think their family will end up well?” Corey narrowed his eyes, his smile sinister, each expression carrying a threat.
Jessica’s emotions completely broke down as she pointed at Catherine and shouted, “That 30 million, none of it belongs to you!”
“Get the check back! Even if I tear it apart, I won’t give it to you, you beast!”
Jessica mustered up her strength and stood up from the ground, enduring the pain as she charged towards Catherine.
“Tearing it won’t give it to me?!” Catherine’s face turned cold as she snatched the iron rod from one of the lackeys and met Jessica head-on.
“Oh my God, is someone going to die here?! If that blow lands, can Jessica survive?”
“Why is she doing this? Quickly send Catherine and her people away, why engage in a life-or-death struggle? Life is more important!”
The onlooking villagers trembled with fear, feeling sorry for Reed’s family while thinking that Jessica was being irrational.
“You wretched thing, die!” Catherine bared her teeth and swung the iron rod at Jessica.
If that blow landed, Jessica’s brain would definitely splatter.
Just then, a figure flashed by, raising a fan-like palm and slapping Catherine.
“Smack!”
Catherine traced a large arc in the air and crashed heavily onto the ground five meters away, her back hitting the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
“Clang!”
The iron rod fell to the side and bounced on the ground twice.
The sparrows on the courtyard wall scattered in fear.
“Ah, my waist! My head…” Catherine’s back burned with pain. The moment she hit the ground, her head had slammed hard against the floor, causing excruciating pain.
Matteo’s heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed in fear, “Flynn, you were too rough!”
“Too rough?” Flynn looked at Catherine, who was howling and rolling on the ground, with a murderous expression, and said coldly, “This woman, more disgusting than maggots, even if she returns the check and dowry, she can forget about getting out of bed again!”
Silence fell on the scene.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them, a sense of foreboding rising.
This young man had struck Catherine; Corey would definitely skin him alive on the spot!
Indeed.
Corey’s anger surged, glaring and cursing, “You little brat, how dare you touch my woman! I’ll cripple you!”
“Get him!”
He waved his hand, and more than ten henchmen rushed forward.
Flynn snorted coldly and met them head-on.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
In less than ten seconds, before they could even touch a single hair on Flynn’s head, they were already disarmed and wailing like injured dogs.
The onlookers gasped in astonishment.
Flynn’s fierce performance had shocked them.
Corey’s mouth twitched involuntarily as he shouted, “Do you know who I am? I advise you not to meddle in other people’s affairs, or else…”
“Or else what?” Flynn approached Catherine, picked up the iron rod from the ground, and smashed it down on her calf.
“Bang!”
The sound of bones breaking rang out.
Catherine’s calf turned into a bloody mess.
Fresh blood spattered, and the bones pierced through the flesh, exposed to the air.
“Ahhh!” Catherine’s screams echoed in the sky above the village, sending shivers down people’s spines.
“Or else what? Why aren’t you talking anymore? Do you want me to break my leg like this?”
“Or maybe…”
After finishing his words to Corey, Flynn swung the iron rod again and struck Catherine’s lumbar spine.
“Bang!”
Another loud noise.
The spine snapped with a “crack.”
Catherine’s lower back turned into a bloody mess, her clothes stained red with blood, and several chunks of flesh flew out!
The crowd couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Flynn had shattered Catherine’s lumbar spine!
